    Hi,

    I'm new to Genesis and I'm trying to figure out the best approach to doing this sort of layout for my posts page:

    http://flap.tv/genesis-challenging-layout.jpg

    I am customizing the home.php template.

    I don't see an easy way of doing this just with hooks and filters given the layout and different images sizes. It would seem to be easier to use the traditional wp_query method, however I don't want to lose the other pieces of Genesis.

    Any suggestions?

    I am customizing the home.php template.

    If you are editing Genesis Framework core files, you shouldn't be doing that, always use a child theme. That layout is easily doable using Genesis Featured Posts plugin if you know a little bit of CSS. You just need to register a full-width widget and three "one-third" widgets. This is how I would do it.

    If you have uncomfortable editing files, I will suggest hiring a Genesis developer.

    Thanks Sachin.

    I am using a child theme. Sorry that wasn't clear.

    I'm not seeing the Genesis Featured Posts plugin. Are you referring to this? https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/

    Thanks,
    DC

    Yes, that is the plugin. It helps make things easier.

    Genesis Featured Posts is a widget, not a plugin. Go to the Appearance/Widgets page to use it.
